that one thing

“Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, ‘You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.’” Mark 10:21

when the 

one thing 

is my heart 

already betrothed to

fear

power

adulation

worry

seduction . . .

how can i sell

something which

is already mortgaged

far too many times?
